A 'depressed' man this morning, Friday, March 3rd, shot dead his wife,
their 5-year-old child, and seriously wounded his father-in-law before turning
the gun on himself outside Sai Noi district office, Thailand, where the couple
were about to sign divorce papers.
The multiple murder-suicide occurred in the parking lot in front of the
district office about 9.45am, media reports said. A woman, aged around 25
and later identified as Wanawan Piyawong, was found dead inside a car with
gunshot wounds. Her son Sukritsadee Deechaiyo, 5, was also shot dead. His body
lay near the car.
Police called to the scene said two men were found seriously wounded.
They were later identified as the woman's husband Surasak Deechaiyo, and his
father-in-law Theerapong Piyawong, 50.
The injured were rushed to a
nearby hospital, where Surasak was later pronounced dead. Mr Theerapong is in a
critical condition.
Pol Capt Piya Sakaew, duty officer at Sai Noi police station, said
Surasak and Wanawan went to the district office to sign divorce papers.
His son and his father-in-law went with them.
On arrival in the parking lot, Surasak tried to patch things up with his
wife. She refused and insisted on divorcing him. A heated quarrel erupted and
the husband became angry, finally pulling out a pistol and firing shots at her
and their son.
He then shot Mr Theerapong before shooting himself in the chest. Police
are currently investigating.
